Reflections of Back to School Event 2014.

From the bottom of our hearts, Kali and I thank each and every one who contributed, supported and rallied around us as we coordinated the Back to School 2014 Event.

We exceeded our goal and distributed more than 150 backpacks to our families!

Let's acknowledge Fit Haven for coming out and getting our kids moving.  Elite Dance Studio for getting us stretched for all the dancing.  Guns Down, Books Up for making sure our kids had books to fill those backpacks.  Last, but not least, Cookie Curson for face painting with every single child that attended!

We enjoyed every minute of it; but we are exhausted!  See you in a month to brainstorm and organize more good for our community in late 2014, early 2015.

Thank you to contributing photographers Robyn Porter and Daniela Beltran.

Enjoy!

Arts & Crafts, Free Books, Face Painting, Fit Haven & Elite Dance kept our kids busy all day.

Our community DJ's always take extra time with our children.

And of course, the reasons why we do this.
